For passive TCP connections using TCP_DEFER_ACCEPT facility,
we incorrectly increment req->retrans each time timeout triggers
while no SYNACK is sent.
SYNACK are not sent for TCP_DEFER_ACCEPT that were established (for
which we received the ACK from client). Only the last SYNACK is sent
so that we can receive again an ACK from client, to move the req into
accept queue. We plan to change this later to avoid the useless
retransmit (and potential problem as this SYNACK could be lost)
TCP_INFO later gives wrong information to user, claiming imaginary
retransmits.
Decouple req->retrans field into two independent fields :
num_retrans : number of retransmit
num_timeout : number of timeouts
num_timeout is the counter that is incremented at each timeout,
regardless of actual SYNACK being sent or not, and used to
compute the exponential timeout.
Introduce inet_rtx_syn_ack() helper to increment num_retrans
only if ->rtx_syn_ack() succeeded.
Use inet_rtx_syn_ack() from tcp_check_req() to increment num_retrans
when we re-send a SYNACK in answer to a (retransmitted) SYN.
Prior to this patch, we were not counting these retransmits.
Change tcp_v[46]_rtx_synack() to increment TCP_MIB_RETRANSSEGS
only if a synack packet was successfully queued.

Since this array is no longer part of the bridge driver, it should
have an 'eth' prefix not 'br'.
We also assume that either it's 16-bit-aligned or the architecture has
efficient unaligned access. Ensure the first of these is true by
explicitly aligning it.

Orphaning frags for zero copy skbs needs to allocate data in atomic
context so is has a chance to fail. If it does we currently discard
the skb which is safe, but we don't report anything to the caller,
so it can not recover by e.g. disabling zero copy.
Add an API to free skb reporting such errors: this is used
by tun in case orphaning frags fails.

Even if skb is marked for zero copy, net core might still decide
to copy it later which is somewhat slower than a copy in user context:
besides copying the data we need to pin/unpin the pages.
Add a parameter reporting such cases through zero copy callback:
if this happens a lot, device can take this into account
and switch to copying in user context.
This patch updates all users but ignores the passed value for now:
it will be used by follow-up patches.

This patch removes the timecompare code from the kernel. The top five
reasons to do this are:
1. There are no more users of this code.
2. The original idea was a bit weak.
3. The original author has disappeared.
4. The code was not general purpose but tuned to a particular hardware,
5. There are better ways to accomplish clock synchronization.

This patch adds an ioctl for PTP Hardware Clock (PHC) devices that allows
user space to measure the time offset between the PHC and the system
clock. Rather than hard coding any kind of estimation algorithm into the
kernel, this patch takes the more flexible approach of just delivering
an array of raw clock readings. In that way, the user space clock servo
may be adapted to new and different hardware clocks.

The SO_ATTACH_FILTER option is set only. I propose to add the get
ability by using SO_ATTACH_FILTER in getsockopt. To be less
irritating to eyes the SO_GET_FILTER alias to it is declared. This
ability is required by checkpoint-restore project to be able to
save full state of a socket.
There are two issues with getting filter back.
First, kernel modifies the sock_filter->code on filter load, thus in
order to return the filter element back to user we have to decode it
into user-visible constants. Fortunately the modification in question
is interconvertible.
Second, the BPF_S_ALU_DIV_K code modifies the command argument k to
speed up the run-time division by doing kernel_k = reciprocal(user_k).
Bad news is that different user_k may result in same kernel_k, so we
can't get the original user_k back. Good news is that we don't have
to do it. What we need to is calculate a user2_k so, that
reciprocal(user2_k) == reciprocal(user_k) == kernel_k
i.e. if it's re-loaded back the compiled again value will be exactly
the same as it was. That said, the user2_k can be calculated like this
user2_k = reciprocal(kernel_k)
with an exception, that if kernel_k == 0, then user2_k == 1.
The optlen argument is treated like this -- when zero, kernel returns
the amount of sock_fprog elements in filter, otherwise it should be
large enough for the sock_fprog array.

* Declared SO_GET_FILTER in all arch headers

BPF filters lack ability to access skb->vlan_tci

SKF_AD_VLAN_TAG (44) mapped to vlan_tx_tag_get(skb)
SKF_AD_VLAN_TAG_PRESENT (48) mapped to vlan_tx_tag_present(skb)

Network device drivers can communicate a Toeplitz hash in skb->rxhash,
but devices differ in their hashing capabilities. All compute a 5-tuple
hash for TCP over IPv4, but for other connection-oriented protocols,
they may compute only a 3-tuple. This breaks RPS load balancing, e.g.,
for TCP over IPv6 flows. Additionally, for GRE and other tunnels,
the kernel computes a 5-tuple hash over the inner packet if possible,
but devices do not.
This patch recomputes the rxhash in software in all cases where it
cannot be certain that a 5-tuple was computed. Device drivers can avoid
recomputation by setting the skb->l4_rxhash flag.
Recomputing adds cycles to each packet when RPS is enabled or the
packet arrives over a tunnel. A comparison of 200x TCP_STREAM between
two servers running unmodified netnext with rxhash computation
in hardware vs software (using ethtool -K eth0 rxhash [on|off]) shows
how much time is spent in __skb_get_rxhash in this worst case:
0.03% swapper [kernel.kallsyms] [k] __skb_get_rxhash
0.03% swapper [kernel.kallsyms] [k] __skb_get_rxhash
0.05% swapper [kernel.kallsyms] [k] __skb_get_rxhash
With 200x TCP_RR it increases to
0.10% netperf [kernel.kallsyms] [k] __skb_get_rxhash
0.10% netperf [kernel.kallsyms] [k] __skb_get_rxhash
0.10% netperf [kernel.kallsyms] [k] __skb_get_rxhash
I considered having the patch explicitly skips recomputation when it knows
that it will not improve the hash (TCP over IPv4), but that conditional
complicates code without saving many cycles in practice, because it has
to take place after flow dissector.

This adds support for the net device ops to manage the embedded
hardware bridge on ixgbe devices. With this patch the bridge
mode can be toggled between VEB and VEPA to support stacking
macvlan devices or using the embedded switch without any SW
component in 802.1Qbg/br environments.
Additionally, this adds source address pruning to the ixgbevf
driver to prune any frames sent back from a reflective relay on
the switch. This is required because the existing hardware does
not support this. Without it frames get pushed into the stack
with its own src mac which is invalid per 802.1Qbg VEPA
definition.

Hardware switches may support enabling and disabling the
loopback switch which puts the device in a VEPA mode defined
in the IEEE 802.1Qbg specification. In this mode frames are
not switched in the hardware but sent directly to the switch.
SR-IOV capable NICs will likely support this mode I am
aware of at least two such devices. Also I am told (but don't
have any of this hardware available) that there are devices
that only support VEPA modes. In these cases it is important
at a minimum to be able to query these attributes.
This patch adds an additional IFLA_BRIDGE_MODE attribute that can be
set and dumped via the PF_BRIDGE:{SET|GET}LINK operations. Also
anticipating bridge attributes that may be common for both embedded
bridges and software bridges this adds a flags attribute
IFLA_BRIDGE_FLAGS currently used to determine if the command or event
is being generated to/from an embedded bridge or software bridge.
Finally, the event generation is pulled out of the bridge module and
into rtnetlink proper.
For example using the macvlan driver in VEPA mode on top of
an embedded switch requires putting the embedded switch into
a VEPA mode to get the expected results.
-------- --------
| VEPA | | VEPA | <-- macvlan vepa edge relays
-------- --------
| |
| |
------------------
| VEPA | <-- embedded switch in NIC
------------------
|
|
-------------------
| external switch | <-- shiny new physical
------------------- switch with VEPA support
A packet sent from the macvlan VEPA at the top could be
loopbacked on the embedded switch and never seen by the
external switch. So in order for this to work the embedded
switch needs to be set in the VEPA state via the above
described commands.
By making these attributes nested in IFLA_AF_SPEC we allow
future extensions to be made as needed.

The PF_BRIDGE:RTM_{GET|SET}LINK nlmsg family and type are
currently embedded in the ./net/bridge module. This prohibits
them from being used by other bridging devices. One example
of this being hardware that has embedded bridging components.
In order to use these nlmsg types more generically this patch
adds two net_device_ops hooks. One to set link bridge attributes
and another to dump the current bride attributes.

In SR-IOV mode the PF driver acts as the uplink port and is
used to send control packets e.g. lldpad, stp, etc.
eth0.1 eth0.2 eth0
VF VF PF
| | | <-- stand-in for uplink
| | |
--------------------------
| Embedded Switch |
--------------------------
|
MAC <-- uplink
But the embedded switch is setup to forward multicast addresses
to all interfaces both VFs and PF and onto the physical link.
This results in reserved MAC addresses used by control protocols
to be forwarded over the switch onto the VF.
In the LLDP case the PF sends an LLDPDU and it is currently
being forwarded to all the VFs who then see the PF as a peer.
This is incorrect.
This patch adds the multicast addresses to the RAR table in the
hardware to prevent this behavior.

Currently sctp allows for the optional use of md5 of sha1 hmac algorithms to
generate cookie values when establishing new connections via two build time
config options. Theres no real reason to make this a static selection. We can
add a sysctl that allows for the dynamic selection of these algorithms at run
time, with the default value determined by the corresponding crypto library
availability.
This comes in handy when, for example running a system in FIPS mode, where use
of md5 is disallowed, but SHA1 is permitted.
Note: This new sysctl has no corresponding socket option to select the cookie
hmac algorithm. I chose not to implement that intentionally, as RFC 6458
contains no option for this value, and I opted not to pollute the socket option
namespace.
Change notes:
v2)
* Updated subject to have the proper sctp prefix as per Dave M.
* Replaced deafult selection options with new options that allow
developers to explicitly select available hmac algs at build time
as per suggestion by Vlad Y.

The CDC Mobile Broadband Interface Model (MBIM) specification
extends CDC NCM by
- removing the redundant ethernet header from the point-to-point
USB channel
- adding support for multiple IP (v4 and/or v6) sessions multiplexed
on the same USB channel
- adding a MBIM control channel encapsulated in CDC
- adding Device Service Streams (DSS), which are non IP generic data
streams multiplexed on the same USB channel as the IP sessions
MBIM devices are managed using the dedicated control channel, and no
data will flow on the data channel until a control session has been
established. This driver has no knowledge of MBIM control messages.
It just exports the control channel to a /dev/cdc-wdmX character
device for userspace management applications. Such an application is
therefore required to use this driver.
This patch implements basic MBIM support, reusing the NCM and WDM driver
APIs, currently limited to IP sessions with SessionID 0. DSS and
multiplexed IP sessions are not yet supported.

Fix two build error introduced by commit 63dca2c0:
"ipvs: Fix faulty IPv6 extension header handling in IPVS"
First build error was fairly trivial and can occur, when
CONFIG_IP_VS_IPV6 is disabled.
The second build error was tricky, and can occur when deselecting
both all Netfilter and IPVS, but selecting CONFIG_IPV6. This is
caused by "kernel/sysctl_binary.c" including "net/ip_vs.h", which
includes "linux/netfilter_ipv6/ip6_tables.h" causing include
of "include/linux/netfilter/x_tables.h" which then cannot find
the typedef nf_hookfn.
Fix this by only including "linux/netfilter_ipv6/ip6_tables.h" in
case of CONFIG_IP_VS_IPV6 as its already used to guard the usage
of ipv6_find_hdr().

Remove non-UAPI Kbuild files that have become empty as a result of UAPI
disintegration. They used to have only header-y lines in them and those have
now moved to the Kbuild files in the corresponding uapi/ directories.
Possibly these should not be removed but rather have a comment inserted to say
they are intentionally left blank. This would make it easier to add generated
header lines in future without having to restore the infrastructure.
Note that at this point not all the UAPI disintegration parts have been merged,
so it is likely that more empty Kbuild files will turn up.
It is probably necessary to make the files non-empty to prevent the patch
program from automatically deleting them when it reduces them to nothing.

uapi/linux/irqnr.h was emitted by the UAPI disintegration script as an empty
file because the parent linux/irqnr.h had no UAPI stuff in it, despite being
marked with "header-y".
Unfortunately, the patch program deletes the empty file when applying a kernel
patch.
It's not clear why this file is part of the UAPI at all. Looking in:
/usr/include/linux/irqnr.h
there's nothing there but a header reinclusion guard and a comment.
So just stick a comment in there as a placeholder.
Without this, if the kernel is fabricated from, say, a tarball and a patch, you
can get this error when building x86_64 or usermode Linux (and probably
others):

Move incorrectly guarded bits back to the kernelspace header.
Whilst we're at it, the __KERNEL__ guards can be deleted as they're no longer
necessary.

Had not been used for more than a decade and half; it used
to be a part of (in-kernel) ->select() API and it has been pining
for fjords since 2.1.23pre1. This is an ex-parrot...

There are some bits of linux/fs.h which are only used within the kernel and
shouldn't be in the UAPI. Move these from uapi/linux/fs.h into linux/fs.h.

Pull MIPS update from Ralf Baechle:
"Cleanups and fixes for breakage that occured earlier during this merge
phase. Also a few patches that didn't make the first pull request.
Of those is the Alchemy work that merges code for many of the SOCs and
evaluation boards thus among other code shrinkage, reduces the number
of MIPS defconfigs by 5."

Pull UAPI disintegration for include/linux/{,byteorder/}*.h from David Howells:
"The patches contained herein do the following:
(1) Remove kernel-only stuff in linux/ppp-comp.h from the UAPI. I checked
this with Paul Mackerras before I created the patch and he suggested some
extra bits to unexport.
(2) Remove linux/blk_types.h entirely from the UAPI as none of it is userspace
applicable, and remove from the UAPI that part of linux/fs.h that was the
reason for linux/blk_types.h being exported in the first place. I
discussed this with Jens Axboe before creating the patch.
(3) The big patch of the series to disintegrate include/linux/*.h as a unit.
This could be split up, though there would be collisions in moving stuff
between the two Kbuild files when the parts are merged as that file is
sorted alphabetically rather than being grouped by subsystem.
Of this set of headers, 17 files have changed in the UAPI exported region
since the 4th and only 8 since the 9th so there isn't much change in this
area - as one might expect.
It should be pretty obvious and straightforward if it does come to fixing
up: stuff in __KERNEL__ guards stays where it is and stuff outside moves
to the same file in the include/uapi/linux/ directory.
If a new file appears then things get a bit more complicated as the
"headers +=" line has to move to include/uapi/linux/Kbuild. Only one new
file has appeared since the 9th and I judge this type of event relatively
unlikely.
(4) A patch to disintegrate include/linux/byteorder/*.h as a unit.
